Iris ‘Blueberry Tart’

Standard Dwarf Bearded Iris

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.295.090

Standard Dwarf Bearded Iris are much shorter than the Tall Bearded types, but equally as colourful and beautiful in the border. Plants form a clump of green sword-shaped leaves, blooming in mid-spring. This selection has flared blue standards with violet-red near the base and a reddish tan central spot fall that fades to a blue edge. Choose a sunny position, with a well-drained, loamy soil. Bearded Iris are heavy feeders, so plan to fertilize in early spring, and again in late summer. Plants should be divided every 3 or 4 years, in August. Be on the watch for Iris borer. Excellent for cutting. Dwarf bearded Iris are also often described as I. pumila. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten.
